Product Description
Unlimited driving leads to new frontiers! Taking overall balance to an even higher level.
At the end of 2023, the Mini-Z MR-04EVO2 underwent a full model change after 14 years. While inheriting the excellent layout of the MR-03, its performance was dramatically improved by the inclusion of a sensor-equipped brushless motor, a revamped front suspension, and a lower battery center of gravity. Now, the MR-04EVO2 is undergoing a minor change, with performance updates. It is equipped with the Front Suspension Arm 2.0, which was first equipped on the RWD series and has enhanced rigidity. Also important for race users is the inclusion of the latest RC unit, which enables motor speed control. This function is essential for users who want more advanced settings while maintaining fairness in races. Previously, Mini-Z Cup regulations restricted the motor's KV value (speed/voltage), but from 2025, this has changed to a system that restricts the motor's speed itself. The MR-04EVO2 is fully compliant with this new speed restriction. By using the ICS Setting Manager, it is possible to set the motor to match the regulations of each class.
The MR-04EVO2 chassis retains the excellent layout of the MR-03 while achieving significant performance improvements through the adoption of a sensor-equipped brushless motor, modifications to the front suspension, and a lower center of gravity for the battery. The front lower and upper plates and steering tie rods allow for switching between narrow and wide treads. In addition, the wheelbase can be adjusted to suit the vehicle.
The front suspension system, which uses an upper arm to swing and optimize the camber angle during cornering, remains the same as before, but the knuckle shape has been changed to the MA-030 type, further improving camber stability. By revising the geometry of caster, trail, etc., it exhibits linear handling. The front springs are a new specification for the MR-04. Springs with different stiffness levels are also available as options.
The front knuckle has been redesigned with an integrated kingpin. The clearance with the kingpin ball has been optimized, resulting in smooth operation without any play. The ball bearing has been changed to a 3mm inner diameter type with low rotational resistance.
To minimize drive loss, all seven ball bearings are of the 3mm inner diameter type, which has low rotational resistance.
The mounting point for the AAA batteries used for power in the main chassis has been set lower than in the MR-03, achieving a lower center of gravity. This improves stability during cornering and contributes to increased speed and maneuverability. The chassis shape has also been completely redesigned to accommodate this change.
The vehicle comes standard with a ball differential that absorbs the rotational difference between the left and right rear tires during turns and slips appropriately under excessive load to enhance traction performance. The aluminum parts are finished in a silver clear anodized coating for a sharp and aggressive look.
The new unit supports high-speed communication with high-end transmitters from various manufacturers, achieving unprecedented response performance. It is also compatible with receiver units from various manufacturers. When using a KO unit (ADV mode), it achieves high-speed communication of 0.99ms, and when using a Futaba unit (EVO2 mode), it achieves 0.9ms. *Previously, it was 2.6ms to 3.0ms.
